When You Deal With A Person Who's

The First Thing You Have To Know About Writing Is That It Is Something You Must Do Every Day - Every Morning Or Every Night, Whatever Time It Is That You Have. Ideally, The Time You Decide On Is Also The Time When You Do Your Best Work.

I Have Never Thought That I Have Sacrificed Anything Being A Writer. That Might Not Be True, Maybe I Have Sacrificed Something. Maybe I've Given Something Up, But I Can't Think Of It.

When You Deal With A Person Who's Experiencing Dementia, You Can See Where They're Struggling With Knowledge. You Can See What They Forget Completely, What They Forget But They Know What They Once Knew. You Can Tell How They're Trying To Remember.

One Of The Things That I Love About Being A Writer Is This. I Wake Up Every Day And I Write For Three Hours. I Wake Up Early. So Like 6:00, 7:00 In The Morning, I Write Till 9:00 Or 10:00. I Live In New York, Nobody Even Is Breathing Until 9:00 Or 10:00 In The Morning. So, It's Like My Writing Life Is Completely Removed From The Rest Of My Life.
